python script as executable

Hi,
I have written a python script to run from cron.
I have put #!/usr/bin/env python at top. file executes correctly when
I run using python filename.py but
it fails to execute when try to run it like script/command.
it throws error:
:No such file or directory

I am editing file from eclipse for python from windows. and then
uploading on linus machine to run it.

Try to ftp it in ascii mode, or find a dos2unix utility .. the file
has probably got \r\n (windows) line terminators in it.. causes
problems. I guess it's also possible that /usr/bin/env doesn't
exist... not likely though.
